The final dress goes over there.
I just talked to Kate.
Hey, don't look like that.
I haven't told her you almost used her dress and pretend it was yours.
Hey, it's best we forget about all of this. You changed your mind in time and that's what counts.
What's wrong?
Tanja reacted horrible, am I right?
- I didn't talk to her. - What! But she has to know...
Marlene! If I could undo it I would but it's too late.
You really wanna take a chance and pretend that Kate's dress is yours?
What I want doesn't count anymore. It's all about LCL, the big picture.
And a show without an appropriate final dress is no show at all.
You can't do this. It's theft. You'll never be able to look yourself in the mirror again.
When I don't do it, I'll stand there as a total failure.
I've done everything I could! Nothing was good enough for Tanja!
Rebecca, this can't be the answer.
It's as if I would have been on stage while someone else was singing.
Yeah, these things happen.
You steal the idea of someone who trusted you to give some feedback.
- Rebecca, you can't do this! - Tanja chose this dress!
Yeah, but you let her think it's yours.
It's too late now. I missed the right moment to tell her.
It's only too late when the dress is out on the catwalk for the whole world to see.
- You can always take one of Juri's designs. - No, you can't ask me that.
So, all this rivalry has come to this.
You're willing to falsely take the credit just to be No. 1?
(Tanja) Mr. Mosch! For a moment I was afraid you would avoid Königsbrunn for a while.
I still don't have a clue how the police got wind of our private little party.
You brilliantly protected me with an adventurous getaway through this secret hallway.
I couldn't allow our potentially major customer to get in trouble for such a trifle.
I'm curious about the designs.
When I read Lotti's message I almost thought you bribed her.
(Ansgar) Mr. Mosch, that's totally unnecessary. Welcome back to Königsbrunn. - Thanks, thanks.
- Say, do you play poker? - Some friends of mine even think I invented it.
Then I'd like to invite you to a private party tomorrow. To return the favor, if you know what I mean.
- Then I'm only too happy to come. With company. - Very nice.
So, as I said, the slogan of our show is 'Fashion fight'.
2 designers, 2 fashion lines, 2 worlds that clash together.
Do you think that you can establish yourself in a new market segment with this label? - Definitely.
How will you prevent to be seen as just an other fashion company?
By emphasizing this clash. Our whole PR-campaign will be dedicated to it.
- Could I take a little peek at the collection? - Yes, if you don't tell anyone about it.
- Let's start with the classical line. - With pleasure.
How you got him back on track...respect.
You won't get away with it.
Kate is going to see her dress in some fashion magazine and then there will be a huge scandal.
- We can talk to her or offer her money. A lot of money. - Rebecca, Kate isn't like that.
- You already know Rebecca von Lahnstein. - Ah! The next generation.
- I'm a strong admirer of you art Miss von Lahnstein. - Thanks.
- Mr. Mosch, take a look around. - Yes.
Rebecca, where's the final dress? You'll love it Mr. Mosch, it's stunning. - NO!
No? Are you crazy? What's your problem?
Rebecca will explain the problem in a minute.
You slipped me a stolen dress?!
I wanted to explain but you wouldn't let me speak and you were so excited...
BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS YOUR DESIGN! Now I realize why you wanted to talk me out of it.
- Yes, exactly. - But you didn't rectify it!
Shall I tell you why? Because you failed each of your designs.
I thought you nailed it with this dress but you just stole it!
NO, I just tried to explain you!
It would have been perfect.
I'm sorry.
I trusted you. I trusted your skills.
But this action is you own surrendering.
We have a show to give downstairs. Mosch is there, all our other customers and the press.
I don't have any rights to this piece. When this leaks out, we’re finished.
- We could use one of my other desi... - DIDN'T YOU HERE ME!
None of your designs is as good.
- We need a final dress so we'll take one of Juri. - What, but...
Any complaints?
***!
(Marlene) What's this?
- The final dress. - That's one of Kate's designs.
I know.
(Tanja) This one here, has it. That's LCL! And we finally have a wedding dress again!
I'm lucky I found this design and you too. It proves that you can keep up with Juri creatively.
Rebecca, this design is going to save your career.
Ansgar, we need to talk. No, RIGHT KNOW!
Just take a deep breath. It's good that this whole thing is cleared up.
Honestly, I would've been relieved when we could've buyed the dress from Kate, but this.
- Even then the final dress wouldn't have been yours. - Officially it would've.
And that would be fine by you? No Rebecca, I don't believe that.
No, of course not.
But I would've had more time to sort myself out and to come up with new designs.
Could it be that you're in a creative slump?
You wanted to run your head against the wall. You have to stop doubting yourself.
Maybe the final dress isn’t yours but all the other pieces of your collection are.
And they are all gorgeous. You should be proud of yourself.
Yeah, you're right. Thanks for protecting me against this huge mistake.
I knew you would've regret is more when the press would praise a stolen design.
It would've just made you more insecure.
- Now you can look forward again. - Yes.
I think I'll go back inside and take care of the preparations.
- We don't just present the final dress. - Good luck!
- Is this a joke! Is she even too stupid to steal?! - Maybe next time you could give her some pointers.
Ansgar, this doesn't get us anywhere. We need a solution.
- It's easy, we'll take one of Juri's designs. - Absolutely not!
- Why? Cause I brought him to LCL? - No, cause it's the final dress.
You don't experiment with it. The whole press will be shooting this dress.
It's THE picture and we have to deliver it. None of Juri's designs can do that.
Okay, then suggest something!
Shall we rob the archives of some fashion school...
...cause a student is better then your overpaid creative ***?
We already have the perfect dress. I showed it to Mosh. How would it look if we didn't present it now?
- Then that's it. We'll just buy the design from her. - That would be the smartest solution.
Great. Do you know how to contact her? I'll take care of it then.
Marlene gave me her number.
When you have to soften her up a bit, just tell her I'll give her a study contract.
Everyone has his price.
Ah, one more question. What about our little plagiarist? Are we gonna consecrate her right now?
No, then she'll get panicked and it could happen that I scratch her eyes out.
- And? did you reach Kate? - Just the mailbox. I'll try again later.
(Charlie) That Tristan wants to try out as a model. (Bella) Yeah, I found it funny too.
Let's just hope it won't become a habit.
- Are you're also active in purchasing textiles? - No, I do wood work.
Ah, forestry is also a sure thing. Your forests, are they located overseas or here at home?
Do you think I hop on a plane every time I want to go cut down a tree?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to castle Königsbrunn.
This year we've decided the fashion show to take place here in Königsbrunn...
...cause we believe our castle has the right atmosphere for this presentation.
[ Clapping ]
As you already knew from the press, we successfully signed Juri Adam here at LCL.
[ Clapping and whistling ]
Despite all the provocations about his designs...
...with the classical line of our fantastic designer Rebecca von Lahnstein, LCL stays the same as ever...
...the spearhead of contemporary elegance.
(Ansgar) Cause we're both so excited about these two fashion lines...
...we couldn't wait to present the newest designs to all of you.
(Tanja) And that's why we decided to present ourself three weeks before the other fashion labels.
Before I let the designs speak, I would like to take this opportunity to...
...thank the best manager imaginable. Ladies and gentlemen, Tanja von Lahnstein.
[Clapping and whistling]
Thank you, Ansgar.
I also have to thank you for your support and commitment.
Enough with the opening speech.
Clear the ring for the first round of our LCL fashion fight!
[ Music ]
That's really cool! Not as stiff as those other clothes.
Rebecca's things aren't stiff! They're vintage, dad. You're a real wood gnome.
- What do you think mom? - Can you help me, I feel so hot.
[ Boxing bell sound ]
That's my boyfriend and my brother!
Who would wear something like that?
The idea of this fight is great. Elegance against the terror of the present, wonderful.
I was afraid I would miss the trademark of Clarissa von Anstetten.
To miss Mrs. von Anstetten? That would surprise me.
- Is everything okay, mom? - I think the baby is pressing on her bladder.
(Ansgar) It looks like our new concept is a hit.
We've always been a good team, Ansgar. As long as we're not fighting each other.
Only Kate can still put a spoke in our wheel.
- I have to go make a call. - I'll join you.
- Is there no place to be undisturbed... - Speak up, what did she say?
Nothing, I can't reach her.
I need this damn approval, preferably before the final.
I know, we're running out of time. Do you have a plan B?
- Yes, we're showing this dress. - What, without the rights?
I don't have any other choice, the show is going great.
We HAVE to show this dress otherwise it will end in a fiasco.
But to get the rights afterwards can be tricky and most of all expensive.
That's Rebecca's problem. She pretended it was her dress.
This means we'll drop her if this gets out?
Yes, you can count on that.
